Answer 1

Let's look at the locations of the library and museum in a coordinate plane:

The museum is "17" units above the x-axis.

The library is "2" units below the x-axis.

The total units between the museum and library is 17 + 2 = 19 units

Thus, the distance between the museum and library is 19 units.

Correct Answer:
